@LordWalney You must recuse yourself from this matter. Your involvement is highly improper as you are working for interests that compromise your independence.
You were also appointed by the most dishonest politician we’ve ever had in high office.

@CharlieM_OBE @oliverhodgsonn @GBNEWS @WeFix_London May I recommend a beautiful tribute to Mr Mullins in the Guardian this weekend. It’s a wonderful piece by Marina Hyde that he will want to treasure. Maybe have it framed for guests to read in the loo?

America needs to learn the terrifying lesson of the British riots. This was Musk’s trial balloon for the US election.

The prospect of political violence is real. And Musk’s behaviour is a warning shot of what’s to come. My piece for @ObserverUK

@BritainElects He’s ruined it. Why didn’t you ask me?

I grew up thinking we’d defeated Nazism forever. Turns out it always returns. I talk to Paul Mason about how democracy can defeat it in its modern, networked form.

[David Cottam6 @DCottam6]

@Nndroid @sturdyAlex A good episode. Paul Mason is excellent as always.

@RestIsPolitics I’ve always been puzzled by David Davis .
Underneath the genial self confident persona there is an almost comical need to name drop & be assertive. He presents as vain, frivolous and contrarian but not nasty.
A useless negotiator who thought he was brilliant at the job.

@joncoopertweets It’s Ruritanian kitsch. Only a dead soul could dwell in that tasteless parody of a palace without feeling existential dread.
The man with the golden toilet.

Don't call them Farage Riots. It makes him really upset.

As someone dedicated to justice, fairness, and equality, I am deeply troubled by Elon Musk's recent comments. I am vehemently anti-racist, anti-fascist, and X/Twitter has become misaligned with these values therefore I've decided to leave the platform. Love and solidarity. Paloma

🚨 Thanks to Elon Musk…

“Robinson’s posts were seen up to 1.2 billion times. According to The Bureau of Investigative Journalism, “almost everyone” it interviewed at the riots in Southport “mentioned Tommy Robinson”.

@JaneyGodley @PaulbernalUK The bewilderment of the foot soldiers of fascism.
Expecting a medal from Nigel in the post and a holiday postcard from Tommy: “Lovely weather here in Cyprus, nice to escape from it all”

If you’re going to tell the machines what Truth is, I hope your methodology is more than just showing them arbitrary sequences of fiction and getting them to respond with the phrase “Huge if true.”

Which bit did Coutts get wrong about Farage?

Answers on a postage stamp please…

Rioting against grooming gangs but their hero is Andrew Tate.

Make it make sense.

BREAKING: In a stunning new leak, this photo of Donald Trump and Kevin Roberts (the author of Project 2025) flying in Trump’s private jet has surfaced. Retweet to make sure everyone knows these two are inextricably linked.

[David Cottam6 @DCottam6]

@grabblerss Just reported and blocked you so I don’t have to read your offensive drivel.
